“you just look at rocks, and have beards” Perceptions of Geology From the United Kingdom: A Qualitative Analysis From an Online Survey (2024)
Journal Article

In the last few decades, Geology courses, particularly in the Global North, have seen a decline in student enrolment. Geologists have linked this downturn to a lack of exposure to the subject at school and college level. This work seeks to understand...

Geometrical restoration of a late Neoproterozoic depositional framework and an intrabasinal unconformity in the Laurentian margin Dalradian Supergroup, Grampian Highlands, Scotland (2024)
Journal Article

Restoring primary depositional frameworks from orogenic settings is challenging. To demonstrate a robust determination of original, but now highly-deformed, depositional frameworks and their first-order sequence-stratigraphy, we analyse the Dalradian...

A multidisciplinary scientific investigation of the 1916 Hawthorn Mine Crater, Beaumont Hamel, Somme, Northern France (2024)
Journal Article

Hawthorn Crater is a prominent feature of the former Somme battlefield near Beaumont Hamel, Northern France. It resulted from the detonation of arguably the most famous of nine mines that the British had prepared below German lines on 1 July 1916, as...

Aeolian–lacustrine margins: implications for carbon capture and storage within the Rotliegend Group, Southern North Sea (2023)
Journal Article

The Southern North Sea Basins of the United Kingdom were renowned for their hydrocarbon resources and exploited extensively from the 1960s to the 1990s. The Permian Leman Sandstone in particular formed an excellent reservoir due to its extensive clea...

Shedding off-the-grid: The role of garment manufacturing and textile care in global microfibre pollution (2023)
Journal Article

Textile fibres are abundant anthropogenic pollutants. These fibres enter aquatic, terrestrial, and atmospheric environments, and biota. Textile fibres pose biological and chemical threats to the environments they pollute. Laundry is a primary source...

Multi-stage subduction-related metasomatism recorded in whiteschists from the Dora-Maira Massif, Western Alps (2023)
Journal Article

Whiteschists from the Dora-Maira massif (Western Alps, Italy) are Mg and K-rich metasomatised granites which experienced ultra-high pressure metamorphism and fluid-rock interaction during Alpine continental subduction. The sources and timing of fluid... Read More about Multi-stage subduction-related metasomatism recorded in whiteschists from the Dora-Maira Massif, Western Alps.

Zinc oxide – mesoporous silica nanocomposite: preparation, characterisation and application in water treatment for lead, cadmium and chromium removal (2023)
Journal Article

Applications of nanomaterials in water and wastewater treatment and in environmental clean-up operations depend on the adsorption capacity of the materials for contaminants such as potentially toxic elements (PTEs). However, on their own nanoparticle...

Microbial genome (Illumina MiSeq) sequencing of drinking water treatment residuals to evaluate compatibility with environmental applications (2023)
Journal Article

The clarification of drinking water leads to the production of large quantities of water treatment residuals (WTRs). DNA was extracted from six WTR samples collected from water treatment plants within the UK to compare their bacterial communities and...
